Description My Red Rump tarantula. She's still a baby so is just starting to get the red hairs on her abdomen that the species is known for. Also she has some red hairs on her back legs. I read that's a sign that it could be a female! I really hope so b/c then I will be able to enjoy her for a lot longer! Males only live a few yrs but the female of this species has been reported to live as long as 15 yrs or more.

Here's an article that mentions the red hairs on the back legs: [link]
